Congratulations to the Football Association. After years of tireless work, you have identified the real menace to the beautiful game: a teenager who got upset after being clattered. Not the clatter itself, of course. That was fine. A poor challenge, the kind that could have put a young player on the treatment table for a […]
* WORLD EXCLUSIVE * FA Ref Rules (Arsenal Edition) Not sure there is much to say of value about the Brighton game, but I do have something to say, though. Not sure if it will brighten your day or make you more infuriated, but here goes… An ‘Arsenal Edition’ Premier League referees rule book has […]
The big wigs at the FA are bracing themselves for another raucous debate at next weeks extraordinary general meeting. Following Arsenal’s win against Fulham on Saturday (remember, 100% records aren’t for everyone), Sky Sports outcasts, Keys & Gray are submitting a 3rd attempt at getting the rules changed to limit Arsenal celebrations. After seeing the […]

After that Gabriel red card, it was difficult to continue watching the television screen under the belief that you were witnessing a football match played at the very highest professional level. It’s a game that left a bitter […]
Initially I had no intention of writing the review. Not because I was fuming at the result (I was, though), but because the game was lost courtesy of a highly incompetent Dean. Why write about something so trivial and done to death already? I mean, how many times can we say Mike Dean was horrible? […]

Burnley. We knew what to expect from Burnley. It was always going to be tough, it was always going to be a bit scrappy. Here’s the thing though, this team can win tough, scrappy games. We have robust players like Coquelin, (how good was he yesterday), Alexis and Giroud. Even Özil has more bulk to […]
What’s The Score?! THE SUAREZ DILEMMA Wenger Wants Him. You Don’t. So Who Is Right? by Batmandela Luis Suárez a genius wrapped up in a monster. Or so we’re led to believe. Should we sign him? Or not. That’s the Suárez Dilemma. invinciblogI was eleven-and-a-half. My family had just emigrated from Rhodesia to South […]
